Lighting and camera crews were pictured setting up outside Leeds Civic Hall, near Millennium Square, on Monday (February 20).
Pictures show the crews using two different cranes or cherry-pickers to climb the building. One was positioned near the eye-catching golden clock at the side of Civic Hall, while the other was pictured at the front near the steps.

It comes after a film crew was spotted earlier this month shooting in north Leeds as part of the production of a new BBC thriller.
Elmete Drive, in Oakwood, was blocked off on February 9 while filming took place – with temporary lights in operation.
A police car formed part of the set as residents also spotted an actor dressed as a policeman. The Yorkshire Evening Post understands the crew were making a new BBC and Amazon show called Boat Story. The six-part thriller has been written by Harry and Jack Williams and is being produced by award-winning All3Media production company, Two Brothers Pictures.
